My ps2 will not turn on now. There are no power indicator showing. Any idea what could've caused it? This all still sounds like some issue with your installation, or a blown fuse, or a short somewhere.

The guide is fine, you messed something up somewhere. A lot can go wrong so it can be hard to know exactly what's wrong. Actually I am having a problem now. When I put to metal Shields back on my console i get a black screen on boot, I assume this is one of the wires touching? As soon as I take the plates off it is, what can I do to fix this?

I can't test as I'm waiting on a part for it the spindle motor. Should I re check connection or is it good enough? Thanks for all the help by the way, really appreciate it.

I am having trouble installing the a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i connections.

If you see the installation diagram, these are very tiny holes on the back of the ps2 mainboard. Does anyone have any installion tips to make a secure solder job?

Any answer would be much appreciated. Thank you. Yes i got a Magic V, i emailed modchip. I also emailed modchip. Be very careful, you have to scratch the coating off the via holes to the trace, then flux and add solder to the via be careful because I have the same problem but worse I lifted the barrel for E off the board. It's like a nonconductive clear coating to proctect the copper from being expose to the elements.

What sould i scrap it off with? Use and x acto knife blade or a dental pick or try radio shack for some smaller wire that will fit into the hole the wire they sent me was to big for via.. I recieved a e-mail from chipzone and guess what now they say i should have use the 3. I had to get 2 chips removed so i could find the circuit path and install a repair trace. So unless your work at a electronics place be very carefull.

I just got my box back to normal operation and after spring break will try mod again. Kids get mad when the don't have any games to play. I'm trying to find somewhere that shows going chip to chip instead of those tiny little via hole. Yes, the Magic 3.
